Cheers Paul -- in the end I used Audacity's "Export Multiple" option to
get each track as a separate file, and then dragged-and-dropped those in
to Ardour as you suggested. A bunch of the "tracks" in Audacity were
really just regions within one actual instrument track, so being able to
drag in clips either as new tracks, or as regions on existing tracks,
saved me a tonne of time. 

Thanks
Leigh
